THE OATH OF HIPPOCRATES
I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and
Hygeia, and Panacea, and all the gods and goddesses, that
according to my ability and judgment I will keep this oath
and this stipulation: to reckon him who taught me this Art
equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance
with him and relieve his necessities if required-, to look upon
his offspring as my own brothers and to teach them this
Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation-,
and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of in-
struction I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons
and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stip-
ulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to
none others. I will follow that system of regimen which ac-
cording to my ability and judgment I consider for the bene-
fit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious
and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to anyone
if asked, nor suggest any such counsel-, and in like manner
I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion.
With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice
my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but
will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of
this work. Into whatever houses I enter I will go into them
for the benefit of the sick and will abstain from every vol-
untary act of mischief and corruption-, and further, from the
seduction of females and males, of freemen and slaves.
Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or
not in connection with it, I see or hear in the life of men
which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge,
as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I
continue to keep this oath unviolated may it be granted to
me to enjoy life and the practice of the Art, respected by
all men and all times. But should I trespass and violate this
oath may the reverse be my lot.

^Jo Lj ale ^J\neeiand, Ar.
The Class of 1966 takes special pleasure in dedicat-
ing its yearbook, the Aesculapian, to Dr. Yale Kneeland,
Jr. Endowed not only with a keen sense of humor but
with a genuine sense of humanity, Dr. Kneeland has made
his courses in physical and differential diagnosis memor-
able educational experiences. Few instructors have brought
the energy and dedication to the task of teaching which
he has— fewer succeeded so well. As a healer, scientist,
and teacher, Dr. Kneeland will remain without peer in
our memories.
Do Dke CL&A of 1966
Not long after I had been informed that the Fourth Year Class
was graciously proposing to dedicate its Year Book to me, a repre-
sentative asked if I would be willing to write a few words for inclu-
sion in the book. This should have seemed like the easiest and pleas-
antest task in the world. Surely anyone still in possession of some
remnant of his senses who has existed in the world of academic
medicine until the verge of retirement should have something to say
worth reading. At least this would appear to be the opinion of most
of my colleagues who have the misfortune to belong to the same
vintage as I. They are constantly putting into elegant prose the dis-
tilled essence of their wisdom. Subjects such as Medical Education,
Medicine and Society, the Distribution of Health Services, and the
shape of things to come are the inspirations for innumerable papers
that I have seen in medical and para-medical journals during recent
years. I have read them with a feeling of awe, but when confronted
with a request to do a similar job myself, I was overpowered by the
thought that every conceivable thing about Medicine that can be
said has been said far better than I could. As the deadline approach-
ed, my sense of frustration deepened. Finally it occurred to me that
there was one subject about which I might write very briefly, as I
had a feeling for it. The subject was the Medical Student.
I suppose in the United States of America there are thirty-odd
thousand young gentlemen who fit into this category. They have
been carefully selected for admission to medical school on the basis
of a number of qualities which are clearly defined in the minds of the
members of Admissions Committees. These include much better than
average endowment of native intelligence, scholastic achievement,
emotional stability, dedication (whatever that means), character, and
personal charm. In consequence, the medical student is a most fan-
tastically pleasant person to deal with. He is not an Angry Young Man.
He has no pent-up stores of resentment against society. He is tre-
mendously cooperative, enormously industrious, and, all in all, not
only a gifted but a very good man. Thus, there are thirty-odd thou-
sand of these young paragons who are still in a stage of innocence
and are as yet uncontaminated by the cynicism which affects some
physicians later in life. As a category of human beings, I have never
seen their equal. Gentlemen, I salute you. May the aura of innocence
and virtue surround you always.

"Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath.

^Jne f^eopie, the f^lace, the J^urpo
It all began with a letter— a letter of ac-
ceptance. In response, on a crisp, clear, late-
summer day in September, 1962, 108 men
and 12 women converged on the medical
college whose forerunner, in 1767, had con-
ferred the first Doctor of Medicine degree
in the North American colonies. From 21
home states we came: 83 from the East (59
Empire Staters), 13 from the Central States,
13 from the West, 9 from the South, and
one each from India and Iran. Fifty-two
colleges and universities were represented,
with 54 of the class coming from Harvard
(16), Columbia (16), Princeton (11), and
Yale (11). A diversity of backgrounds, skills,
and interests was assembled: big-city and
small town, 14 married and 106 single, ex-
service men, an ex-sheriff, a West Pointer,
students from Oxford and Cambridge, teach-
ers, hospital workers, researchers, a gover-
nor's granddaughter, a Senator's grandson,
campus big-wigs, European travellers (one
voyager up the Nile), motorcyclists, a sky-
diving enthusiast, airplane pilots, swimming
instructors, soccer and rugby experts, squash
and tennis stars, skiers, hikers, hunters, as-
sorted athletes, photographers, do-it-yourself
hi-fi builders, artists, writers, instrumental-
ists, singers, amateur horticulturists— and one
camel expert. With such diversity, there
still existed one unifying, common purpose:
the study of Medicine. Some saw this as a
pathway to future security, or responsibility,
or prestige, or wealth; others thought pri-
marily of research, or teaching, or service,
or sacrifice. Whatever the various motives,
the next four years together would be a
learning process for all concerned; many
goals would be redefined, others reinforced,
some rejected. Four years hence, at com-
mencement, we would look back and briefly
reminisce. But who, in September, 1962,
could imagine that four years would rush
by so quickly!
Our Year of Initiation began officially on
Thursday, September 6, 1962— tanned and
well-rested college graduates were again
freshmen. Having once entered the College
building, we were immediately whisked up
to the Registrar's office by white-frocked
sophomores, where we were presented with
myriad registration and scholarship forms
bv Mrs. Daly. Then into the hall again to
fill them out, up to the seventh floor Bursar's
office to placate or plead, and down to the
Ae
sub-basement for fingerprints, blood tests,
and the infamous, permanent mug shots.
Finishing this clerical work, there was just
enough time to join a tour of the Medical
Center: a rapid blur of amphitheatres, labs,
preemie nurseries, O. R.'s, wards— and be-
wildering tunnels. Surviving this walkathon,
most of us hustled back to move into our
new home, Bard Hall, where during the next
few days we would attend a smoker, stu-
dent-faculty tea, and roof-top dance.
The Saturday soph-frosh picnic at the
Nevis Estate, complete with baseball, volley-
ball and football games, fostered an early
feeling of class identity, as did the reception
on Sunday night. At this time we had our
first contact with the new Associate Dean,
Dr. Perera, and heard him proudly tell us
we were "the best class" (thus far), with—
Phi Beta Kappa keys — class presidents, and
"enough musicians to fill an orchestra"—
in addition to having in our class the per-
son with the highest med board scores in
the country. However, stress was not placed
on grades, but on learning the art and
science of Medicine, on fostering responsi-
bility, and developing into the "well-round-
ed" physician.
Monday morning arrived, and with it an
official opening day ceremony. One hundred
twenty eager new faces in old, cramped,
poorly lit Amphitheatre A looked down on
the robed deans and heard an inspiring ad-
dress by Dr. McKay.
Thinking back to those early days of our
initiation, certain personalities and events
are particularly memorable. In bio-chemistry
we think of the House of Davids: a terrible-
tempered Groucho Marx synthesizing pro-
tein, a respected Indian accent exhorting
us to learn carbohydrate metabolism, a be-
wildering whirlpool of energy describing
porphyrins, sarcastic comments about DNA
synthesis and nerve impulse conduction, a
misplaced lecture about information theory;
a laboratory' in perpetual motion: titrating
unknown acids, guillotining rats, and urinat-
ing for glucose tolerance tests — all over-
seen by a surly Russian wearing a beret.
And of course, we remember the famous
"How do you transaminate . . .?" question,
and the even more famous Spotnitz paper
airplane.
At the same time there was histology: its
kindly chairman describing the size of red
blood cells in lengthy detail, an electron
microscopist berating the slide projectionist
84
("Mary, when I say focus, I mean make
better]"), a nervous lecturer on the tooth
and liver, and a fair-haired farmboy try-
ing to spell "cartlege."
But the work was still relatively light
( compared with what was to come ) , and tor
most of the class there was plenty of free
time. In addition to locating the bookstore
and coatroom, we could now find Luigi's,
Reme's, the Friendly Shop, Maxwell Hall,
and the T. G. Dave Lowance discovered the
law of gravity and ended up on crutches;
Etsy discovered the pool. Our carefree ex-
istence was occasionally disturbed by hour
tests, including "musical microscope" iden-
tifications; we were also introduced to the
"tapping" system. However, post-exam cock-
tail parties usually restored confidence— or
expunged the memory.
Time passed quickly. We finished learn-
ing Chi-square methods from a Stentorian-
voiced statistician, and became geneticists,
under the guidance of "Orange Juice," "The
Crutch Lady," and Dr. "Read-them-a-lec-
ture" Falek.
A New York Telephone Company building
exploded, and we witnessed the famous
Hospital Emergency Plan go into effect. It
was surpassed only by our own rush to the
10th floor to sign up for anatomy groups
and tables. And then, before we knew it,
finals had come and gone, and we could
breathe easily again for two more weeks.
But before departing for vacation we admir-
ed the Marianna-Peggy reindeer and help-
ed Bob Knapp decorate Bard for the P&S
Club Xmas Party.
Two weeks later we were all back, includ-
ing the skiers, the Caribbeanites, and those
who could "sneak a week" in Florida. Dick
Withington presented his annual report on
how many feet of snow fell at Watertown.
We were welcomed "aboard" Gross Anat-
omy by Pilot Ely, rounded up tools and
texts, and met our cadavers. It was soon
clear why four people were needed in each
group: one to prepare the exercise, one to
bring over an instructor, one to take the
instructor away, and one to keep an eye on
Albert and the tools. At the same time, our
five-man "animal teams" w-ere invading
Physiology on alternate days. We became
skinners and oscillograph recorders, dissec-
tors and nerve experts. People were taking
more notice of us; they expected more.
(They expected us to use a different eleva-
tor after anatomy lab. ) The pace was getting
faster.
During this term Larry William perform-
ed his first C-section (on a rabbit), the
class drank salt water and urea cocktails,
a water faucet was turned on by Dr. Wal-
cott, we journeyed "down the nephron" to
learn that "the kidney does not make urine,"
watched Dr. Ely rotate the gut, made Valen-
tine cards out of anatomy, heard about "af-
fewent wollies," and learned that "respira-
tion is a strange process, caught midway be-
tween the conscious and the uncons-
cious . . . ." We met new and interesting
people: Albert, the Enema Man, and Char-
lotte. We encountered Physiology multiple-
choice tests, and Anatomy fill-in-the-blank
tests. To make sure we got our money's
worth from tuition, they even gave us an-
other course, Neuroanatomy, complete with
Dr. Carpenter's thalamus lecture, and Dr.
Noback's cranial nerve classic. We were
impressed.
Ninety- per cent of the class joined the
Note Group. The faculty was impressed.
Spring vacation finally arrived, but pass-
ed too quickly. We were confronted by our
first Neuro test, and learned that all the
tracts and nuceli are "ambiguous." The
psychiatry final was far less traumatic (few-
er notes to review), but a head and neck
dentist and an English-speaking urologist
teamed up to keep us guessing in Gross.
Finally, that course was finished also and
one anatomy group celebrated with a tourist
boat trip around Manhattan.
Pathology classes were cancelled (and
moved to the fall ) and the Embryology final
was punted; preparations for our Class Show
were progressing at a frantic pace. Although
only a "orie-nighter." A Humerus Thing Hap-
pened on the Way to the Forearm proved to
be an off-Broadway hit. Who could forget
Dave Perera "ceaselessly smiling," or Don
Palatucci "staaanding in the aaampitheatre"?
And what about Marianna "Burst" Pinchot,
Jim "Copenhagen" Flint, or "psychiatrist"
Dave Angstreich? There were Dan Shack-
man's lyrics, especially the unforgettable
"Dean's Song"; we saw whistling midgets,
Howie Kaufman ovulating, Mort Cohen dis-
secting the oculo-anal nerve, and Steve
Pauley "spinning: I'm spinning to the right,
Harry." We remember the two lab instruc-
tors (White and Giventer). John Harris in
Supermoth costume, Jack Baker in less-of-a-
costume, Clark Fitzmorris' Charleston, and
the two Nisonsons: Enema Man and Char-
lotte. And, of course, we remember the price-
less finale: Doug Greer's pantomined, re-
corded Neuroanatomy Note Group skit, ap-
propriately set to the Lone Ranger tempo.
Most of all, we were proud of our class: 90%
had participated, 100% had enjoyed them-
selves, and everyone had been essential and
responsible for the show's success.
Although Neuro and Physio finals were
still obstacles to be cleared before our last
summer vacation, they were really anti-
climactic. Our first year could be summariz-
ed easily: more than 100 persons of differ-
ing backgrounds and interests had assembled
85
in September; by May a broad foundation of
medical knowledge had been given to them,
and their numerous talents had been har-
moniously blended to produce a class, P&S
'66.
September, 1963: back we came from
across the globe. The Year of Initiation had
given way to a Year of Transition, one in
which seasoned sophomores would now give
tours and hard-learned advice to a new, in-
coming class, and where emphasis would
slowly shift from the academic to the clini-
cal aspects of medicine.
(Epitomizing the change, our President
returned early from the Valley of the Jolly
Green Giant in order to get some first-hand
knowledge about cardiac catheterization.)
The quality of the lectures and labs under-
went a striking improvement, as we were in-
troduced to the most well-run of the pre-
clinical courses, Microbiology; interest in
the students was paramount, and best illus-
trated by the fact that within a week the
chairman knew the name of each member
of the class. We learned about viruses, bac-
teria, anaphylactic guinea pigs, and the
heterogeneity of antibodies; we heard that
in one lecture a "lot of misinformation was
given out;" we learned about the Greek and
Roman roots of such common words as
"Herpes zoster"; we listened to Dave Brown
insist that "puneumocock'us" was pronounc-
ed "pneumocoe'cus"; we waited for Mr. Duke
to answer a Friday afternoon question; we
removed blood from rabbits' ears and lab
partners' arms.
Concurrently, there was Pathology: a
cigarette-smoking electron microscopist, a
bone expert, the "Man in the Pan," visits to
Montefiore and Mt. Sinai, reunion of old
anatomy groups for autopsy reports, and the
famous color slide of a "schoolteacher" —
all watched over by General Schwartzman.
We were introduced to Public Health, and
the delightful wit of a world-traveller para-
sitologist. We endured Pharmacology once
a week.
With Micro and Thanksgiving over, we
returned to take our first Pharm exam, and
found that "even man off street" could do
better. We learned about antibiotics, antihy-
pertensives, antidepressives, and antimala-
rials in lectures, about antiemetics and antip-
athy in lab. Neuropathology (tap, tap)
was not very taxing, and neither was intro-
ductory Surgery. We were shown "burn
films" before lunch, felt faint at the bed-
side, and saw interesting surgical cases —
including Chuck Poletti's broken fibula (a
skiing accident) and Dick Withington's
sprained ankle (a volleyball mishap).
Meanwhile, Path and Pharm were almost
finished: hundreds of drugs, lectures, and
slides had to be reviewed in one hectic-
week. But then, in a relatively few hours, it
was over, and pentup energy could be re-
leased in the traditional 11th floor Bard
Hall Path party, at which time a Beatle wig
and a purloined Department of Pathology
sign made their debuts.
( Many classmates also remember a second
party that month, arranged by Annette;
namely, Howie's surprise birthday party,
complete with Rolls-Royce, newspaper
photographer, and Baroness Rothschild in
her townhouse! )
The preclinical years were officially over.
Now we were learning about anemias,
leukemias, and uremias in Clinical Path;
about ascariasis, filariasis, trypanosomiasis,
and amebiasis in Parasitology; about family
history, personal history, social history, and
past medical history in Introduction to
Medicine. Many members of the class were
delighted at the increasing practicality of
the lectures; others complained, as usual,
that we had entered a period of curricular
shifting dullness. Lectures varied greatly—
from the sublime: Dr. Kneeland describing
heart and lung sounds punctuated by per-
sonal anecdote — to the ridiculous: a record-
ed lecture on urine punctuated by "beeps"
for the slide projector.
All in all, the last trimester of our second
year was the transition phase in which we
learned the rudiments of clinical history,
physical examination, and laboratory study
necessary for the diagnosis of disease. In
the third year we would put these talents to
more frequent use.
Our Year of Clerkship began without any
interim vacation, and the class was also, for
the first time, split into four groups: Elec-
tive, Medicine, Surgery-Pediatrics, and Spe-
cialties. Infrequently, most of us would
gather for special occasions, including the
National Boards, Part I (June 23-24), and
such special 12 o'clock lectures as those giv-
en by the medical examiner from Long Is-
land, or the Surgery department presenting
a particularly attractive colostomy patient.
We met on Saturday mornings to learn
clinical psychiatry and surgical pathology;
twice we journeyed to Bellevue for lecture-
demonstrations on contagious diseases; once,
in May, we saw every skin lesion known to
man ( and woman ) gathered together on one
floor in Yanderbilt Clinic.
It would be impossible to give a detailed
description of each course, because all of
us, on differing schedules, had different ex-
periences. However, generally speaking, for
most of the class Medicine was the hardest.
86
Peds the most practical, and Surgery the
best taught; almost everyone, whether on
Delafield, Neurology, research, or overseas,
enjoyed his elective period. We stopped feel-
ing squeamish while drawing blood or
watching dressing changes. We learned how
to take histories and present a case. We be-
gan to appreciate medical terms: "crock,"
"gork," "supratentorial," "CPMC," "SOB"—
and "scut." We discovered there were three
types of rounds, depending on the attend-
ing: brilliant, boring, or Bradley.
In our free time (and, except for Med-
icine, there was much of this) our class-
mates were assuming responsibility in other
spheres. Skip, Herb, Gerry, Frank and many
others were moonlighting as skilled clinical
chemistry technicians and blood bank work-
ers. Jack Myers was leading the choir; Bob
Ashman was inviting Senator Javits to debate
the AMA; Chuck Poletti was bringing Mar-
garet Mead to Bard Hall. With 44 of the
class now married, the wives met and re-
started the faltering P & S Wives' Club.
Squash, tennis, rugby, basketball and swim-
ming were popular sports. A Halloween cos-
tume party and a spring picnic were success-
ful class gatherings, as were the individual
medicine parties atop Bard.
This was the year of Goldwater's disaster
and LBJ's Great Society, of Medicare pass-
age and the assassination of Malcolm X op-
posite our hospital. It was a year of continu-
ed growth for the Medical Center, in which
the Alumni Auditorium was dedicated in
May, the Black Besearch Building neared
autumn completion, and a new Babies'
Hospital wing was begun.
Our third year had been one of clerkship,
in which we saw more clearly for the first
time what our future duties would be as
physicians. At last we were serving patients,
and not just memorizing textbooks. The
training we had received as clerks would pre-
pare us for the duties of the fourth year,
when patient care would be our chief re-
sponsibility.
It hardly seemed possible that three years
could pass so quickly, but there we were, on
the threshold before receiving our Medical
Degrees, in our Year of Subintemship: N.G.
tubes and I.V.'s; order books and handbooks
of therapy; physicals and histories; rounds
and presentations; appraisals and summaries.
A class divided into twelve parts has vari-
ed memories: the New England beauty of
Bassett versus African and South American
wilderness hospitals; the private hospitals
of St. Luke's and Boosevelt versus the city
behemoths of Bellevue and Goldwater.
There we were in "whites" on the Surgery
and Medicine wards, in scrub suits deliver-
ing babies and holding retractors, with black
bags and stethoscopes in Peds, Specialties
and Group. Gradually we were becoming
more and more qualified to be called "Doc-
tors."
This was the year of Jack Baker's "Arts
Festival," and Bobin Cook's invitation to
Jacques Cousteau; the year they finally-
opened the Black Besearch Building; the
year our fearless Persian colleague revisited
his land of the Peacock Throne; the year of
the measles "epidemic." Talented classmates
gave noon lectures to the third year, and
were accepted into AOA. Living in New
York City, we witnessed a vast electric pow-
er blackout, a subway-bus strike, and the
election of a Bepublican mayor.
All the time, hovering in the background,
loomed Internship: letters for information
and applications, talks with classmates and
Dean Perera, recommendations and inter-
views, trips to the West Coast, the Midwest,
the South, and New England; the final
choice and a seven-place ranking by January
24. And then, on March 14, with many of
their 55 wives, 3 husbands, and 25 children
anxiously gathered together at Bard Hall,
the Class of '66 would hear Dr. Perera an-
nounce their matchings. Joy, some disap-
pointment, but mostly relief would be felt,
and we would return to our separate serv-
ices, not meeting again as a class until
April's National Boards, Part II. In the spring
would come the Alumni-sponsored Waldorf
dinner-dance, and the class show; finally, on
June 1, we would assemble for a double-
ceremony graduation.
Our fourth year had seen the application
of all we had iearned previously, and an ap-
preciation of all that was yet to be learned.
And so, finally, commencement: both a
culmination and a beginning. It marks the
end of our student days at P & S, and the
start of a lifelong pursuance of knowledge;
a farewell to old friends, a continued bond
as alumni; the attainment of a Medical De-
gree, the responsibility now ours to heal, to
teach, and to explore new medical horizons.
Look back once again on four years of
midnight oil and 5 o'clock cocktails, of
friendship and conflict, of disappointment
and success, of marriage, birth and death.
Look back on four years of maturation and
preparation.
To members of the P & S Class of 1966
much has been given in the last four years;
from them, in future years, much is to be
expected. On the foundation of what is past,
a new and exciting career must now stand.
So look ahead: to internship, to residency
—and beyond — with eagerness and confi-
dence.

Well, a few years back I was just outa college
And I had to decide what do with my knowledge
So I looked in the want ads a little bit
To see WHO WANTED an English lit
Major .... Nobody.
Well, I panicked, I fainted, I got real ill,
Saw a doctor, and when I got his bill
I fainted again. . . .
Then I looked at the bill again
And that's when I decided that ever since
I was a little boy
I always wanted to be a doctor.
So I arrived at med school and I must confess
I was really inspired by the opening address.
I was told a doctor doesn't care about fees
But dedicates his life to stampin' out disease.
I was told to stamp out germs,
I was told to stamp out worms,
Then I was told to stamp out Medicare.
Well, school was great for a second there
Struttin' around like Doc Kildare.
But then I went to the book store
And to my surprise
I saw the books I had to memorize—
Pathology books, urology books
Two or three hundred psychology books
Not to mention anatomy .... They had'em in Latin
I got the English translation though. . . .
Thought it might lose something from the original . .
Books cost me a thousand dollars, not even
countin' the U-Haul-It .... Sold my bed to
help pay for 'em, didn't need it no more.
So I learned all about the human system,
So many facts I could never list 'em.
I learned pneumonia makes you shiver
And the heart pumps blood ... or is it the liver? ?
Well, you can see that my biggest lesson
was in head anatomy.
Yeah, I learned a lotta things can go in one ear
and right out the other.
But I stuck it out, I even passed my boards
And two years later I was on the wards.
There I was taught to examine the heart
But the first patient I got
Really gave me a start.
She's about 22, Liz Taylor's looks,
And a bodv thev left out of my anatomv books
COMPLETELY But I controlled myself
And very discretely examined her heart,
Cleverly concealing my embarrassment.
Put my stethoscope over her heart,
Shut my eyes
And listened intently. . . .
Then she taps me on the head and says I might
hear more if I put the stethoscope in my ears.
In surgery they taught me how
To scrub and sew and scrape and bow
And even how to mend that little crack
Where your classmate stabbed you in the back.
But Medicine was the Hallowed Hall
Where I learned the most important fact of ail-
That is simply that S.O.B. does not necessarily
mean Shortness of Breath.
Well, that's the gist of the med school story—
Lotsa work, not much glory
But when you graduate you're finally free
To live the life of luxury ... as an intern.
But if it's money that you wanna earn all you
have to do is specialize about IS years ....
I've made my choice. . . . I'm gonna be
a child psychiatrist. . . . Then if any kid comes in
sayin' he wants to be a doctor, I'll tell him
he's NUTS!

OkeP&S CU
The P & S Club was founded as the
"YMCA of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons" in December of 1894. Activities
at that time were restricted to dues-paying
members only and membership was limit-
ed. By 1910 the group had occupied a club-
house on West 57th Street and boasted ap-
proximately 125 paying members, with resi-
dence provisions for 17 provided in the club-
house. The organization by that time had
adopted the more stylish "P & S Club" as
its official title. In addition to such early
functions as fellowship, bible study, and
discussion groups, the club provided a strict-
ly mundane "rooming service" whose pur-
pose was to assist new students to find lodg-
ings and to rank the neighborhood ac-
comodations according to quality.
In 1928 the College of Physicians and
Surgeons moved uptown and the Board of
Advisors took possession of #100 Haven
Avenue for the Club. Lodgings were there-
upon provided for some 77 members and
an eating club was also on the premises.
Participation was still restricted to dues-
paying members. In 1931, however, with the
opening of ultramodern Bard Hall, the old
system was abandoned. Membership in the
P & S Club was opened to the student body
at large; all students became members auto-
matically and were entitled to participate in
all club privileges and functions. Financial
support was provided by the YMCA in ad-
dition to contributions by the faculty, alumni,
parents, and friends. Special areas on the
11th floor of the new dormitory were al-
located for Club offices and a lounge.
EDWIN M. BARTON"
In recent years, particularly under the able
guidance of Director Edwin Barton, the
scope of club activities has expanded mark-
edly. There are more than 21 areas of stu-
dent-directed activity sponsored at present.
The program is designed to provide relax-
ing cultural and social activities as well as to
promote development of those qualities of
personality and initiative essential to the
modern physician.
In 1965 the Alumni Association of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons gener-
ously offered to assume full responsibility
for financial support of P & S Club activities.
This gesture has freed the already overtax-
ed Club office of the encumbrance of con-
ducting a separate fund drive and has pro-
vided the Club with financial security per-
mitting new- breadth of planning. The P & S
Arts Festival, new in 1966, is the most recent
example of the continuing growth of Club
functions.
With continued attention to the growing
diversity of student interests, the proposed
construction of a new dormitory building
adjacent to Bard Hall, and welcome expan-
sion of medical school facilities, the P & S
Club faces new challenges. As we approach
graduation, we who have enjoyed its bene-
fits can wish the Club continued success in
providing for the needs of the Columbia
medical student and hope the Club will
persist in its unique position in American
graduate education.

SK&F Foreign Fellows Have Gone to
INDIA, TANZANIA, IRAN, GUATEMALA
At hospitals and medical outposts abroad, medical students
contribute to international understanding and goodwill by helping
to provide much-needed medical services to people in developing
areas of the world.
This unusual opportunity to work and study in foreign countries
is offered to students through the Foreign Fellowships Program of
Smith Kline & French Laboratories. Administered by the
Association of American Medical Colleges, the program has
enabled 180 students to work and study in more than 40 countries
during the past six years. Junior and senior medical students are
eligible for Fellowships, which provide on the average 12 weeks'
work abroad, to be completed before internship. Interested students
should apply through the deans of their schools.
Smith Kline & French has published an illustrated 24-page booklet
telling the story of SK&F's Foreign Fellowships Program. For your

SANDOZ
RESEARCH CENTER
a new addition to Pharmaceutical Progress
The new Sandoz Research Center is one of the most modern and best equipped research
facilities in the nation. Here we will seek to acquire fresh knowledge in the field of
therapeutics.
Although much of the research will be at the "basic" level, special emphasis will be
given to the search for compounds with potential therapeutic value. It is our expectation
that the outcome of basic and applied research will be new drugs — the sign of steady
progress toward directed goals.
The Center dedicates itself to improving the future of man's health by helping to make
the vision of a cure or treatment for every type of disease become a reality.

p.s.
Although we dedicated this yearbook to one man, Dr. Yale Kneeland, in a sense it really
should be dedicated to all our faculty members, for all of them are devoted humanitarians,
teachers and scholars. Nevertheless, we felt that to a considerable degree Dr. Kneeland epit-
omizes the finest qualities of many and so we chose to single out one as being most repre-
sentative of all.
Nineteen years ago the graduating class of the College of Physicians and Surgeons first
produced a yearbook. In a brief note on the prenatal course of this first P & S senior literary
production, they commented:
"At the very onset we were faced with an early threatened abortion on the
basis of impecunity. Were it not for the kind and hearty ministrations of our
patrons, P <Lr S '47 would have gone the way of all defective embryos."
Several years have passed but the financial realities of publication have remained. How-
ever, now as then, the extraordinary generosity of our faculty makes possible this volume.
This year's yearbook is in most ways modelled after its predecessors. However, in one
small way it differs. It has a new name— Aesculapian. Aesculapius was, as Dr. Harry Rose
would be quick to point out, the son of Apollo and Coronis and mythical father of med-
icine. Therefore we felt that the name Aesculapian, which denotes both a follower of the an-
cient Greek healer and a physician in general, was a particularly apt title. We hope it meets
with favor.
Aesculapian is largely a "picture book" which, it is hoped, will serve to remind us of our
experiences at P & S. As such, it required numerous photographs. Among others, we are ex-
tremely grateful to Mrs. Elizabeth Wilcox for allowing us to use so many of her beautiful
pictures. Credit also should be given to those of our classmates who helped with the photog-
raphy.
Finally, the Yearbook Staff wishes to express its thanks and appreciation to Mr. Emil
Schmidt and the firm of Bradbury, Sayles, O'Neill, Inc., Publishers, for their assistance and
encouragement.
